Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of wheel rim production equipment, specifically relating to a shot cleaning device after wheel rim shot blasting. Background Technology

[0002] Shot blasting is a crucial process in wheel rim manufacturing, primarily used to remove oxide scale, rust, and impurities from the rim surface, improving surface quality and the adhesion of subsequent coatings. However, after shot blasting, sand particles can easily remain in the cavities and grooves within the rim. If these residual sand particles are not thoroughly cleaned, they can not only affect the assembly accuracy of the rim but also cause wear and tear on components during subsequent use, potentially even posing safety hazards. Currently, the most common shot cleaning methods for wheel rims in the industry are manual hand-held high-pressure air blowing or simple vibration screening. Manual blowing is inefficient and cannot penetrate the complex internal structure of the wheel rim, resulting in incomplete cleaning. While simple vibration screening devices can achieve a certain degree of sand separation, they lack stable fixation of the wheel rim and multi-directional cleaning design. This not only easily leads to wear and tear on the wheel rim during vibration but also fails to effectively clean residual sand particles from different angles, especially those hidden in deep cavities and corners, resulting in poor cleaning performance. Furthermore, some shot cleaning devices have complex structures and cumbersome operations, limiting cleaning efficiency and quality, and failing to meet the high precision and efficiency requirements of large-scale production for wheel rim shot cleaning.

[0015] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the shot blasting and cleaning device for wheel rims includes a barrel body 1, inside which is a support plate 2. The support plate 2 is vibrated by a vibration mechanism and driven to move up and down by a lifting mechanism 17. Clamping plates 3 are respectively provided on both sides of the support plate 2. The clamping plates 3 are driven to move radially along the barrel body 1 by a transverse movement drive mechanism 10 and are driven to rotate by a rotation drive mechanism. A barrel cover 4 is provided at the upper end of the barrel body 1. One side of the barrel cover 4 is connected to the barrel body 1 via a vertically arranged rotating shaft. Several air blowing pipes 5 are installed on the barrel cover 4, and the air blowing pipes 5 are connected to an air source via flexible hoses. A discharge pipe 6 is provided at the lower end of the barrel body 1. The rotating shaft can be connected to a motor for automatic opening and closing of the cover. After opening the barrel cover 4, the wheel rim is placed on the support plate 2 inside the barrel body 1, and the barrel cover 4 is closed. The vibration mechanism drives the support plate 2 to vibrate, shaking off the sand particles hidden inside the wheel rim. After a period of time, the pallet 2 stops vibrating, the clamp 3 moves to clamp the rim, the pallet 2 descends, and the clamp 3 rotates, causing the rim to rotate several times, emptying the sand particles hidden inside. After the rim reverses direction, the pallet 2 rises, flips the rim, and places it on the pallet 2, and the clamp retracts. The vibration mechanism drives the pallet 2 to vibrate again, repeating the above steps to clean the sand particles hidden inside the rim. Finally, the clamp 3 clamps the rim, the pallet 2 descends, the clamp 3 clamps the rim and rotates it, and the air pipe 5 blows air onto the rim to further clean the sand particles inside.

[0016] Furthermore, the tray 2 is provided with several through holes. The through holes allow sand particles falling onto the tray 2 to fall and be collected.

[0017] Furthermore, the rotary drive mechanism includes a rotary motor 7, and movable holes 8 are respectively provided on both sides of the upper end of the barrel 1. Movable rods 9 are inserted into the movable holes 8. One end of the movable rod 9 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 3, and the other end is located outside the barrel 1 and fixedly connected to the output shaft of the rotary motor 7.

[0018] Furthermore, the lateral movement drive mechanism 10 includes a cylinder, a rotary motor 7 is fixedly mounted on the movable slide plate 11, a fixed plate 12 is provided below the movable slide plate 11, a slide rail 13 is provided on the fixed plate 12, the movable slide plate 11 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 13, and the movable slide plate 11 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the cylinder.

[0019] Furthermore, the inner side of the clamping plate 3 has an arc-shaped curved surface, and a rubber pad is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped curved surface. The rubber pad prevents the clamping plate 3 from damaging the wheel rim.

[0020] Furthermore, a lifting plate 14 is provided below the pallet 2. The pallet 2 is connected to the lifting plate 14 by several springs 15. The vibration mechanism includes an air hammer 16, which is mounted on the lifting plate 14. The lifting mechanism 17 includes a lifting cylinder, which is mounted on a mounting plate 18. The mounting plate 18 is fixedly connected to the barrel 1 by several connecting beams. The output shaft of the lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the middle of the lifting plate 14. The air hammer 16 continuously hammers the pallet 2, causing the pallet 2 to vibrate and shake off the sand particles on the rim.

[0021] Furthermore, a surrounding plate 19 is fixedly connected around the perimeter of the pallet 2, and a rubber layer covers the pallet 2. The surrounding plate 19 prevents the wheel rim from slipping off the pallet 2. The rubber layer reduces wear on the wheel rim caused by vibration.
